Hell here now
Wellington artist Bob Kerr, has created a series of paintings based on the Gallipoli Diary of Alfred Cameron. The ten paintings show the landscape occupied by the ANZAC troops from May to December 1915.
Kerr was inspired by the clearsightedness of the young man’s writing which reflected the all-too-enthusiastically expressed spirit of the age: the desire to experience adventure and the excitement of going to war.
